| Beschrijving keerzijde | Emperor Valens standing facing, head turned to the left, in military attire, holding the labarum (chi-rho standard) in his right hand and dragging a kneeling captive by the hair with his left hand, a composition symbolising Roman martial dominance. The reverse legend GLORIA ROMANORVM (Glory of the Romans) encircles the type. A field mark 'C' appears to the right of the emperor, while the exergual mint mark CONSA identifies this piece as a product of the first officina of the Constantinopolis mint. The overall fabric is typical of the reduced late Roman AE3 follis denomination struck under the Valentinianic reform coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Valens ruled the Eastern Empire as junior co-emperor under his brother Valentinian I from 364, and the GLORIA ROMANORVM reverse type was introduced across both halves of the empire as part of a coordinated propaganda effort following their joint acclamation. The Constantinople mint struck this type across multiple officinae, and RIC IX 41b specifically denotes the second officina's output. Valens would die at Adrianople in 378, just three years after this issue ended, making his coinage from the Constantinopolitan mint a direct precursor to the catastrophic Gothic War that reshaped the late Roman east.
